Topological convexities, selections and fixed points

A convexity on a set X is a family of subsets of X which contains the whole space and the empty set as well as the singletons and which is closed under arbitrary intersections and updirected unions. A uniform convex space is a uniform topological space endowed with a convexity for which the convex hull operator is uniformly continuous. Uniform convex spaces with homotopically trivial polytopes (convex hulls of finite sets) are absolute extensors for the class of metric spaces; if they are completely metrizable then a continuous selection theorem à la Michael holds. Upper semicontinuous maps have approximate selections and fixed points, under the usual assumptions.     

Best Approximation on Convex Sets in Metric Linear Spaces

In this paper the concepts of strictly convex and uniformly convex normed linear spaces are extended to metric linear spaces. A relationship between strict convexity and uniform convexity is established. Some existence and uniqueness theorems on best approximation in metric linear spaces under different conditions are proved.     

Nearly strict convexity in Musielak-Orlicz-Bochner function spaces

Criteria for nearly strict convexity of Musielak-Orlicz-Bochner function spaces equipped with the Luxemburg norm are given. We also prove that, in Musielak-Orlicz-Bochner function spaces generated by strictly convex Banach space, nearly strict convexity and strict convexity are equivalent.

Complex extreme points and complex convexity in Orlicz-Bochner function spaces

It is well known that extreme points which are connected with strict convexity of the whole spaces, are the most basic and important geometric points in geometric theory of Banach spaces. In this paper, criteria for complex extreme points, complex strict convexity and complex uniform convexity in Orlicz-Bochner function spaces are given.     

A note on geometrical properties of Banach spaces using ψ-direct sums

Let X be a Banach space and ψ a continuous convex function on [0,1] satisfying certain conditions. Let Xψ_⊕X be the ψ-direct sum of X. In this note, we characterize the strict convexity, uniform convexity and uniformly non-squareness of Banach spaces using ψ-direct sums, which extends the well-known characterization of these spaces.     

Uniform convexity and the splitting problem for selections

We continue to investigate cases when the Repovš–Semenov splitting problem for selections has an affirmative solution for continuous set-valued mappings. We consider the situation in infinite-dimensional uniformly convex Banach spaces. We use the notion of Polyak of uniform convexity and modulus of uniform convexity for arbitrary convex sets (not necessary balls). We study general geometric properties of uniformly convex sets. We also obtain an affirmative solution of the splitting problem for selections of certain set-valued mappings with uniformly convex images.     

Locally uniform convexity in Musielak-Orlicz function spaces of Bochner type endowed with the Luxemburg norm

Criteria for locally uniform convexity of Musielak-Orlicz function spaces of Bochner type equipped with the Luxemburg norm are given. We also prove that, in Musielak-Orlicz function spaces generated by locally uniformly convex Banach space, locally uniform convexity and strict convexity are equivalent.     

Locally uniformly rotund points in convex-transitive Banach spaces

Almost transitive superreflexive Banach spaces have been considered in [C. Finet, Uniform convexity properties of norms on superreflexive Banach spaces, Israel J. Math. 53 (1986) 81–92], where it is shown that they are uniformly convex and uniformly smooth. We characterize such spaces as those convex transitive Banach spaces satisfying conditions much weaker than that of uniform convexity (for example, that of having a weakly locally uniformly rotund point). We note that, in general, the property of convex transitivity for a Banach space is weaker than that of almost transitivity.     

Convergence theorems, best approximation and best proximity for set-valued dynamic systems of relatively quasi-asymptotic contractions in cone uniform spaces

In cone uniform spaces X, using the concept of the D-family of cone pseudodistances, the distance between two not necessarily convex or compact sets A and B in X is defined, the concepts of cyclic and noncyclic set-valued dynamic systems of D-relatively quasi-asymptotic contractions T:A∪B→2^A∪B are introduced and the best approximation and best proximity point theorems for such contractions are proved. Also conditions are given which guarantee that for each starting point each generalized sequence of iterations of these contractions (in particular, each dynamic process) converges and the limit is a best proximity point. Moreover, D-families are constructed, characterized and compared. The results are new for set-valued and single-valued dynamic systems in cone uniform, cone locally convex and cone metric spaces. Various examples illustrating ideas, methods, definitions and results are constructed.     

Existence and convergence theorems for generalized hybrid mappings in uniformly convex metric spaces

In this paper, we show a relationship between strictly convexity of type (I) and (II) defined by Takahashi and Talman, and we prove that any uniformly convex metric space is strictly convex of type (II). Continuity of the convex structure is also shown on a compact domain. Then, we prove the existence of a minimum point of a convex, lower semicontinuous and d-coercive function defined on a nonempty closed convex subset of a complete uniformly convex metric space. By using this property, we prove fixed point theorems for (α, β)-generalized hybrid mappings in uniformly convex metric spaces. Using this result, we also obtain a common fixed point theorem for a countable commutative family of (α, β)-generalized hybrid mappings in uniformly convex metric spaces. Finally, we establish strong convergence of a Mann type iteration to a fixed point of (α, β)-generalized hybrid mapping in a uniformly convex metric space without assuming continuity of convex structure. Our results can be applied to obtain the existence and convergence theorems for (α, β)-generalized hybrid mappings in Hilbert spaces, uniformly convex Banach spaces and CAT(0) spaces.     

Random strict convexity and random uniform convexity in random normed modules

Based on the analysis of stratification structure on random normed modules, we first present random strict convexity and random uniform convexity in random normed modules. Then, we establish their respective relations to classical strict and uniform convexity: in the process some known important results concerning strict convexity and uniform convexity of Lebesgue-Bochner function spaces can be obtained as a special case of our results. Further, we also give their important applications to the theory of random conjugate spaces as well as best approximation. Finally, we conclude this paper with some remarks showing that the study of geometry of random normed modules will also motivate the further study of geometry of probabilistic normed spaces.     

The uniform convexity of the Edmunds-Triebel logarithmic spaces

We show how uniform convexity can be preserved in the logarithmic spaces A_θ(logA)_b,p. Estimates are given for the moduli of convexity of A_θ(logA)_b,p in terms of the moduli of A₀ and A₁, when one or both of them are uniformly convex.     

A theorem of Hrushovski-Solecki-Vershik applied to uniform and coarse embeddings of the Urysohn metric space

A theorem proved by Hrushovski for graphs and extended by Solecki and Vershik (independently from each other) to metric spaces leads to a stronger version of ultrahomogeneity of the infinite random graph R, the universal Urysohn metric space U, and other related objects. We show how the result can be used to average out uniform and coarse embeddings of U (and its various counterparts) into normed spaces. Sometimes this leads to new embeddings of the same kind that are metric transforms and besides extend to affine representations of various isometry groups. As an application of this technique, we show that U admits neither a uniform nor a coarse embedding into a uniformly convex Banach space.     

Martingales with values in uniformly convex spaces

Using the techniques of martingale inequalities in the case of Banach space valued martingales, we give a new proof of a theorem of Enflo: every super-reflexive space admits an equivalent uniformly convex norm. Letr be a number in ]2, ∞[; we prove moreover that if a Banach spaceX is uniformly convex (resp. ifδ _x(?)/? ^r when? → 0) thenX admits for someq<∞ (resp. for someq<r) an equivalent norm for which the corresponding modulus of convexity satisfiesδ(?)/? ^q → ∞ when? → 0. These results have dual analogues concerning the modulus of smoothness. Our method is to study some inequalities for martingales with values in super-reflexive or uniformly convex spaces which are characteristic of the geometry of these spaces up to isomorphism.     

Noncreasy and uniformly noncreasy Orlicz-Bochner function spaces

We point out that uniform noncreasiness is a super-property in Banach spaces. Moreover, we prove that Orlicz-Bochner function spaces are noncreasy if and only if they are rotund or smooth. Finally, we obtain that Orlicz-Bochner function spaces are uniformly noncreasy if and only if they are uniformly rotund or uniformly smooth.
